Applying make-up properly is not as simple as opening up the package and starting to slap it on like a coat of paint. There is a technique to doing it properly that you can later fine tune to your own style and desires. Without the basic foundation of application to build upon, you may never find that look you hope to have. It takes a little patience and a learning curve to achieve the desired effect. This article will help put you on the path by offering suggestions to make the whole process much easier and one that leads to a smile on your face when you accomplish the look you have been trying to achieve for some time. The most important thing you need to know is that it is highly recommended to use antibacterial lotion to ensure that your hands remain clean. It is extremely easy for any foreign particles or germs that you have on your hands to be transferred to the applicators making your attempts to blend extremely difficult. Imagine having oil on your hands and touching a sponge that will be dipped into blush or foundation. The product may not spread evenly and could lead to a very poor base to build on. Make sure your hands are clean before you start applying make-up for the best look. You should always use a primer before applying make-up. The primer will prevent impurities, like oil, from affecting the make-up. It also smooths out the skin making the application much easier to blend as you begin the process. You simply cannot go wrong using primer before applying product and it will show in the final stages as the look will be far more professional in appearance which is what you hope to accomplish with your efforts. There cannot be enough said about using high quality applicators and brushes. These are the tools that make your efforts a success. It doesn't matter how expensive or high quality your make-up may be if you are using brushes that are of low quality or simply worn from excessive use. The make-up will not spread or blend evenly and it will show when you are finished with your efforts. You should always apply make-up in natural light as this is how others will see you. Often their is a slight softening effect in our bathroom fixtures or a slight tint to the lighting. This can actually look great when you are under that specific light but once you are outside or in a different lighting environment, can look completely different and in some cases, odd. Try your best to allow natural light into the room where you apply your make-up and do not solely depend on the artificial light in the room. Finally, do not wear more make-up than you need to prevent issues during the day. It is far better to take a break and touch-up your make-up multiple times through the day than load up on it to the point you appear to be wearing a mask. If you can use these suggestions as the foundation for your make-up endeavors, you will achieve the look you are striving for. It is simply difficult to build a house without a strong base and the application of beauty products is no different as these tips will only strengthen your appearance but also ensure the look throughout the long day.
